Like by cured meats or ham, the cheese production started as a way of preserving food surpluses (milk in this case) and it has become an art over the years. Multitude of choices are available in accordance with the origin of the milk with which the cheese has been prepared:

Cow

These cheeses have been produced in green and moist locations with big pastures like Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria. Usually they are soft and creamy.

Sheep

These cheeses are basically produced in dry areas such as the Basque Country, Navarra, Castilla and Leon, Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura because sheep need less pasture than cows. Sheep cheese is usually more aromatic, bitter and salty than cow’s and contains more proteins and vitamins. They can be soft, semi-hard and mature.

Goat

These cheeses are typical of Andalusia, Levante and the Canary Islands. They are more digestive that the cow cheeses and have less calories and saturated fats.

Mixture

Cheeses of mixed milks (the three of them or two) are produced all over Spain.
